I've got a bunch of 13" alloys for my Renault 5.
Anyone running 13" wheels? I'm sure the fitment would be the same, just whether or not they clear the discs/calipers.
 
Won't fit over brakes at all I'm guessing.

Definitely wont fit on an RS that's for sure as 15s cutting it close as it is with only a few mm to spare
 
What about the more basic twingo's not the 1.6l one?
Don't they run 14"s as standard?
 
Found this on google.
So The Twingo1 takes 13"s as standard, but i'd be interested about getting 13"s on something like the 133 or the II GT


Model Year-(MY) Torque (NM) Tyre Size Pressure Front (PSI) Pressure Rear (PSI)

Twingo II 07 – 12 105 185/55R15 31 29

The Twingo 1 does, but if you wanted to put it on a 133 you have 2 chances:

A. None
B. F*ck All.

Hate to be blunt but as has been said already, people are running 15s and getting VERY little caliper clearance - myself included.

The standard RS NON CUP takes 16" wheels, so a 3" drop in wheel size wouldn't work unless you went to smaller brakes..then it begs the question - why would you want small wheels with huge sidewalls and smaller brakes on a Renaultsport renowned for...well, it's Sportyness.
 
Won't fit over brake discs at all on the 133 as I said above 15s only clear the calipers by a few mm.

GTs run 15s but are the same brakes as the other basic model twingos which run 14s so 13s still might not fit over the brakes at all.

Gotcha, I'll forget the 133 and look at the other 1.2 models. Hopefully they take 13", otherwise i'll contemplate the LHD twingo 1, pity it's so damn ugly.
I've got a large collection of non road legal wheels/tyres for racing (slicks/wets/intermediates) - all 13".
 
13'' fit just fine on old Twingo, they've come as standard on mine ('98 Twingo 1.2 8V Spring edition).
